I look forward to whatever Wayne, Eric and company decide to incorporate into the K3 or other radios in the future. I concede the fact that I don't know how to design a radio like the K3. Many on here apparently think they could do a better job with their "better" ideas. I'm willing to simply learn how to operate a new radio whether or not it has one button band selection, band "stacking" functions, or size issues, etc.etc.etc. So much of it comes across as whining, not constructive suggestions. Everyone has the right to make their own choice when purchasing a radio. If they don't like their K3, they can sell it and buy something that satisfies their "ME" without having to compromise. ( Good luck there!) Maybe these folks should spend more time operatng and less whining.
